The passage is quite spacious, and the walls are equipped with iron racks for placing torches.
There was a smell of dust in the air, and it was obvious that no one had entered it for many years.
"Don't take it lightly, beware of traps!"
Zoe Babbitt's expression became nervous again, and she shouted a warning.
The Shadow Poison Assassins are good at stealth assassinations, and are also involved in poisoning and setting traps.
These can be said to be the skills of assassins.
So it is indeed worthy of vigilance!
The two wolf cavalry exploring the road ahead put away their scimitars and took out the throwing spears hanging from their waists. They bowed forward and continuously stabbed the wall and ground in front of them with their throwing spears.
The first trap was quickly triggered. Two or three meters in front of them, dark green runes shone on the top of the stone wall, and then a large amount of poisonous mist was sprayed out.
Fortunately, Zoe was prepared and immediately took out a [Level 2 Cyclone Rune (green)] from the limited storage and activated it with a flick of her wrist.
The light blue wind spirit elemental magic power condensed instantly, and then turned into a whirlwind and swept towards the front of the passage, sweeping up the surrounding dust.
"call!"
The cyclone blew up the poisonous mist and blew it directly into the depths of the passage.
No matter how high the level of the poisonous mist is, it cannot avoid strong winds without anyone controlling it.
The Wolf Cavalry has a strong physique and a tough character, but after all, it is only a second-level unit, so it is a bit reluctant to be used as a scout.
It has to be said that this was actually Zong's negligence.
Since he has the strategy module nearby, he doesn't need any scouts to accompany him.
Therefore, they neglected to develop powerful scouts for the territory.
So far, the scouts in the territory are still Tiezhu and the assassins who were rescued from Mitani Hideki.
Now that the family is big and the business is big, after we start exploring in separate teams, the problem is exposed.
Zong Shen doesn't need scouts, but that doesn't mean Zoe doesn't need them either.
If there is a scout who has mastered high-level insight skills on this occasion, he will undoubtedly solve a lot of troubles.
Thinking of this, Zoe sighed softly. As the leader, it is normal for the lord to not be able to cover everything.
Otherwise, he would not need the assistance of various talented subordinates. Any omission in this aspect would be her dereliction of duty.
Zoe planned to wait until the end of this mission before reporting this issue to the lord.
"Still can't save props!"
She sighed in her heart, her mind sank into the storage compartment, took out a lanyard eye and put it on her head.
This was also one of the emergency items she had prepared before.
[Insight Glasses (Purple)]
After wearing it, Zoe can obtain the effect of the fourth-level insight spell, so that she can see through the invisibility effects of the fourth-level and below levels, and detect hidden traps.
Wearing [Insight Glasses (Purple)], she immediately looked more bookish.
Without any hesitation, Zoe stepped to the front and walked with the two wolf cavalry who were exploring the road.
The ghost of the great adventurer Jacques Picard also floated over.
"Miss Zoe, let me explore the way."
"As a ghost body, traps in the main material world cannot hurt me."
It took the initiative to join us, and it was no longer as shabby as before, and it obviously had a sense of belonging.
Colby took a few steps forward calmly and protected behind Zoe, silently showing his protective action.
"Then thank you for the hard work, Teacher Jacques!"
Zoe did not refuse Jacques Picard's request, she nodded slightly and nodded in greeting.
As a special ghost body, Jacques can indeed isolate most damage from the main substance, and he can also penetrate walls that are not protected by runes.
In the absence of high-level scouts, he is indeed the best person to explore the road.
Zoe naturally understood this, but her relationship with Jacques Picard as a teacher and friend made it difficult for her to use a commanding tone to ask Jacques to explore the way.
Jacques Picard, who had transformed into a ghost state, had no ink marks and moved forward decisively, using semi-material interference trap runes from time to time.
Followed by Zoe, she used [Insight Glasses (Purple)] to understand the location of the fourth-level trap in advance.
The team advanced steadily for more than a hundred meters without triggering any traps along the way.
Safely arrived at a hall twenty or thirty meters underground.
This hall is more like a tavern, with a bar, wine barrels and several wine tables placed on both sides.
There are also horn cups on the table in several places.
There are knife throwing targets hanging on the wall and sandbags for practice.
"Light the torch."
Colby gave the order, and the Wolf Cavalry immediately took action, and the remaining torches in the hall were lit.
After thousands of years, many torches have decayed, but no matter what, they can still burn.
Orange-red firelight illuminated the hall, casting large shadows.
At first glance it seems to be a dead end, but Zoe, Colby and Jacques Picard all speculate that there should be a secret passage.
"Kakaka..."
Just when everyone was about to search for the entrance to the secret passage, the crisp sound of bones rubbing together sounded.
Behind the bar covered in cobwebs and dust, a fancy undead wearing a top hat slowly climbed up.
It was wearing a black waiter's uniform, with a silver rose in the breast pocket.
The left arm is holding a short knife, and the right arm is holding a parchment scroll.
"Kaka!"
As a resurrected undead, the flesh and blood on its body has long since rotted away, and what gives it the power to move is the fire of the soul.
The undead will instinctively hate the living and have thoughts of killing, especially the low-level undead who have not awakened their wisdom. They cannot control the murderous intention in their hearts at all.
Therefore, after this guy got up, he immediately stumbled out of the bar and fell on the other side.
Before he had time to regain his balance, a net covered his head and face.
Colby frowned slightly and gave up the idea of taking action himself.
The level of the undead in front of me cannot exceed captain level at most, and the wolf cavalry under his command is enough to deal with it.
"Kill it!"
"Bring back the parchment it holds!"
He gave the order directly, and the belligerent wolf cavalry could no longer bear it any longer, and they all threw their spears with howls.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Only the sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding" and "click-clicking" was heard, and in the blink of an eye, the undead was nailed to the ground by a spear.
, the bones on the body showed obvious signs of cracking, and suffered hundreds of points of damage.
It didn't have much health, and after doing this, it was quickly hacked to death by the Wolf Cavalry with a scimitar.
The soul fire in the skull slowly extinguished, and everyone gained a small amount of experience points.
And the parchment was also delivered to Colby.
Zoe came over, and the two of them unfolded the parchment, shook off the dust on it, and looked at it carefully.
In the end, they both frowned.
The words above were in the common language of the Endless Continent. They could understand the words, but they could not read the contents on the parchment.
Because the order of the text above is disrupted, unique interpretation methods are needed to get the content.
It seems that this parchment should be a message received by the Shadow Poison Assassin League. Anyway, take it away first.
At the same time, Colby also found two rusty keys on the remains of the undead, a [Shadow Venom Assassin Alliance Token] of the same style, and several "Seven Flowers" silver coins that were popular in the last era.
This kind of silver coin had a high value in the previous era. It was forged from the magic material mithril and had seven different flowers on it, so it was called the "Seven Flowers" silver coin.
After solving the undead skeleton, everyone found the entrance to the secret passage behind the bar.
It was a narrow circular secret passage, connected by iron ladders, with a large wine barrel placed above it, which was covered up in a perfunctory manner.
The secret passage is very narrow and can only allow one person to pass up and down at a time, so the ghostly Jacques Picard was first allowed to float down to explore the passage.
It took a full five or six minutes before Jacques Piccard floated up.
Its expression was very complicated, and after pondering for a moment, it slowly spoke.
"There is no danger down there, but there are a lot of skeletons."
After that, it floated down again.
Zoe and Colby looked at each other and went down the secret passage one after another.
Climbing down the dry and cold iron ladder to the bottom of the secret passage, walking forward for more than ten meters is a small wine cellar.
At this time, there were at least hundreds of skeletons in the wine cellar, and there was no trace of the resurrection of the undead among them.
In addition, Zoe and Colby also found several treasure chests.
All the skeletons maintained their original posture, either curled up or squatting, and many of the skeletons were clinging to each other.
From the traces of clothing, Zoe concluded that these skeletons were civilians from Azshara in the previous era.
Among them, you can also see the corpses of several shadow poison assassins wearing black collar robes.
It is not difficult to guess that after Azshara experienced the disaster, the Shadow Venom Assassin League branch opened its wine cellar and took in many civilians with the help of the protection of the rune barrier.
Just looking at the situation in front of them, they were trapped and died in the wine cellar in the end.
The only doubt is, why are there no undead souls here, and why is there no undead soul’s death energy?
While Zoe and Colby were inspecting the site of the ruins, suddenly, a cool breeze drifted through the sealed wine cellar.
The cool air blew through Zoe's hair, making her look tense instantly.
"Cheng!"
Colby drew his machete and stood ready.
There is also a Wolf Cavalry man climbing down the passage at the rear.
The ghostly Jacques Piccard turned and looked at the corner of the wine cellar.
"Jack is so hungry!"
A faint groan appeared, and everyone's nerves immediately became tense.
…
At the same time, deep in the Azshara mine tunnel, in areas 9-17 of the West Road mining area.
Zong Shen drove the [Magic Drilling Machine (Orange)] to drill through the last ice blocking the road.
Along with it, he chopped up a skeleton warrior frozen in the ice.
The front of the passage looks like an igloo, but there is still about two or three meters of passage to go forward.
He has become accustomed to it along the way. When he encounters a place that can still be passed, he will seize the opportunity to pass through it. When the ice is completely blocked, he will use the [Magic Drilling Machine (Orange)] to violently drill open.
Under such circumstances, it took him more than an hour to get here.
Currently, there is still a mining tunnel less than 60 meters away from the deepest sealed place in the West Road Mining Area.
The temperature inside the mine has dropped to more than ten degrees below zero, and even the oxygen content has dropped a lot.
It gave Zong Shen the illusion of trekking in the snow-capped mountains of the plateau.
Fortunately, as they advanced, the air gradually began to circulate, at least normal breathing was not a problem.
After passing through the last narrow frozen passage, they finally arrived at the sealed place!
There was supposed to be a huge mine hall in front of it, but it was completely blocked by a strange rune gate.
The reason why this rune gate is weird is because it actually shines with void runes.
Moreover, the surroundings are filled with powerful spatial interference.
When Zong Shen closes his eyes and activates the space perception attached to [Wandering Walk], he can find that the space in front of him is split, and the dimensional barriers there have completely disappeared.
Instead, it is a sealed place that exists as an independent space.
To use an appropriate analogy, it is like cutting off a small piece of skin from the human body and implanting it into other tissues.
The entire rune gate is extremely strong, and its surface is full of brilliance, appearing very active without any signs of dimming.
"Tsk!"
"He actually completely destroyed a space barrier and then hung the sealed place here."
"This is to use the barrier operation of the dimensional world to form an indestructible cage."
"When space is chaotic and space means cannot be used, it is almost impossible to break down the barrier with brute force."
Zong Shen stood next to the large rune gate and said in amazement.
The soldiers accompanying the rear were also arriving one after another, and the white crystal stones in their hands brought light to the place.
There were many broken bones scattered around the gate, as well as broken weapons and staffs, all of which were frozen in the ice at the moment.
Even through the ice, he could see many potholes and ravines on the hard stone ground.
These are all traces of battles left over from the last era.
The cold frost started to spread from the four corners of the rune gate in front of me, but it could never be completely frozen.
The power of the runes above circulates every three minutes, melting the ice every time.
After observing for a while, Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and stared at the special rune gate in front of him.
[Simplification·Dimensional Seal Rune Gate (Year Light Level 7)]
(The dimensional sealing rune gate arranged after temporary simplification and adaptation has a solid value of up to 50 million points and a double resistance of 9999 points. It is not easy to break through from the outside, not to mention that this gate also has the ability to counterattack in the void.
But you have got the key to breaking the door, which is half of Prince Silveryue's soul.
The half Silver Moon emblem that hosts the soul has been put into the storage compartment by you. Now take it out. As long as you show your strength and convince Silver Moon Prince Ansel again, it will naturally help you open the rune door and defeat the big devil.
, complete the task)
…
"hiss…"
Zong Shen looked at the large series of numbers and was amazed!
